Otis Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Oh well, I'm still happy with the trade I made. But of course he gets the offer sheet like 3 days after I move him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Calgary proving once again while they will never be a good team again. I love O'Reilly but at $5M per with their roster?? Do they really need to be giving up more high picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Volpatti is more of a final straw kind of thing. He's been better than Weise, brought energy, had some really good games, and yet is pulled from the lineup in favour of Dale Weise, who has definitely not outperformed Volpatti. Weise can kill penalties?? Big deal... he brings almost nothing else to the table, and we have lots of players who kill penalties. But for the most part, it's because since Game 6 of the 2011 Stanley Cup final, this team has played with almost zero passion, zero energy, zero urgency.... almost every game they look like they're just going through the motions. I'm getting tired of watching our team, who should be a top contender, losing games they should win and just barely winning games they should dominate. I'm tired of watching us play down to the level of teams like Calgary, Edmonton or Columbus. I'm tired of watching them get a quick 2 goal lead, assume the game is in the bag and phone in the rest of the game, giving up said 2 goal lead and ending up losing the game. I'm tired of having that feeling of being down 3-2 with 10 minutes to go and knowing the odds are pretty good that even if we get some pressure, 4 out of 5 times, we won't get that goal to tie it. I'm tired of being surprised when we actually do get that goal, and after that, I'm tired of being let down by a weak goal against late, in OT, or watching yet another hapless Canucks shootout. The last year, my argument against firing Vigneault was simply that if you fire Alain Vigneault, the best coach available will be Alain Vigneault. But with Lindy Ruff now available as an option, that's no longer the case. Both good coaches, but like Ruff in Buffalo, perhaps AVs message just isn't getting through anymore. Our team always seems constantly under-prepared, unmotivated and uninspired. Our sheer talent level has gotten us through for the most part. You have to be good to be lucky? To a point, but luck favours the prepared. Far too often, we are not. This should be unacceptable for a team with Stanley Cup aspirations. I'm tired of watching a team capable of being great settle for being average. "Good enough" shouldn't be good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thought it was 1st, 2nd 3rd, guess it isn't THAT bad. Still don't really agree with it, their pick is likely top-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddhas Hand Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 The Blackhawks are very pleased with our performance of late , we had a quiet night yesterday , before that we were playing very consistently, slowly climbing the standings.

Buddhas Hand Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I get a lot of flack on the boards for my anti-AV stance, but I wanted stand with you on the one thing I have said for many years now, very publicly: If the team as a whole is a number, representing the level of 'good', then AV, or any coach should be a multiplier of that 'good'. Say the Canucks are an 89 on teh 'good team scale' ..then AV should multiply that by 1.1, so as to get thebest out of his good team..and so push them into the 90's of said scale... what we have had instead is a coach who on his very best possible day multiplies the team by a factor of 1. I have said many times that Alain Vigneault will not coach the Vancouver Canucks to a stanley cup. I have always hoped I would be wrong, and I have always taken a lot of abuse ont he boards for it. In short: if they fire him I won't complain one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I have been suspecting Calgary wins ever since Toronto got bumped out, after Curt's ominous warning that we won't believe who wins! The only two big deals for all us Canuck fans would be Toronto and then Calgary..and so..is there a third period comeback? I am betting so.
